Giveaway: Memory Mixer Mixes Digital Scrapbooking, Creativity and Fun

Mem­ory Mixer is a blend of dig­i­tal scrap­book­ing, mul­ti­me­dia, cre­ativ­ity and fun. As a geek, I was really excited when scrap­book­ing went dig­i­tal because I was able to com­bine my two  addic­tions, tech­nol­ogy and scrap­book­ing. But Mem­ory Mixer took that to a new level. Not only could I cre­ate a dig­i­tal scrap­book page, but I could add movies and sound to the page and cre­ate a mul­ti­me­dia scrap­book.

Tra­di­tional vs Mem­ory Mixer Scrapbooking

We all know about the scrap­book pages of birth­days where we trim pic­tures, add a back­ground, a few cake stick­ers, some fancy can­dle ele­ments, jour­nal­ing, a cre­ative title and slide it into our kid’s scrap­book. Our kids love look­ing at them and we enjoy cre­at­ing them. But imag­ine tak­ing that same birth­day page and cre­at­ing it with dig­i­tal ele­ments and dig­i­tal pic­tures. Then you add a movie of your child open­ing the awe­some Lego set they received as a gift, then add the sounds of your child’s grand­par­ents singing Happy Birth­day to their grand­son. You fin­ish it off with scanned in copies of all the cards they received from fam­ily and friends. THAT is what Mem­ory Mixer can do for your scrap­book pages.

Mem­ory Mixer Projects

At the end of each year, you take all those dig­i­tal lay­outs with doc­u­ments, video and sound and cre­ate a CD of the entire year for your family’s Hol­i­day newslet­ter. Instead of hear­ing about all the activ­i­ties you did all year, your fam­ily can see it in liv­ing color, mov­ing pic­tures and glo­ri­ous sound. All of this is pos­si­ble with Mem­ory Mixer.

Mem­ory Mixer also makes it pos­si­ble to cre­ate a printed scrap­book that you can give to your child so they can look at the pages and read all about their own adven­tures. Or cre­ate a cal­en­dar so Grandma can enjoy her grand kids with a new pic­ture each month.

Mem­ory Mixer Options

There are sev­eral options for shar­ing your pages. You can have Mem­ory Mixer auto­mat­i­cally cre­ate a page after you choose the back­ground and pho­tos, cre­ate a page from scratch or add your pho­tos to tem­plates. I was able to quickly cre­ate a birth­day book as a gift for a friend when I was short on time.

There are sev­eral choices for shar­ing your pages/books too. You can print the pages at home, have them printed pro­fes­sion­ally, cre­ate a CD or DVD (ordered online).

I wasn’t sure how I was going to like scrap­book­ing with movies and sounds, but it took my scrap­book­ing to a new level. It is the ulti­mate com­bi­na­tion of scrap­book­ing and tech­nol­ogy and this geek is hav­ing fun with it.
